zappafrank Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Shouldn't Cygnus X-1 be represented as Prologue and Part 3, and not Part 1 and Part 3? Based on the way the lyrics are laid out, I always assumed the intro music was part of the Prologue, while Part 1 starts when it dies down and Geddy sings "Invisible to telescopic eye."

AndroidOnTheRun Posted July 7, 2015 Share Posted July 7, 2015 Oh man this is such a nitpick and I think you are right on. I think many folks consider the spoken word bit with the SFX to be the prologue, the instrumental intro is part 1, and then all of "Invisible to telescopic eye" through "...until the black hole gains control" is part 2. But song-structurally, even though they're short, the "Invisible to telescopic eye" and "I set a course just East of Lyra" sections should be separate parts. God I hope I didn't get any of that wrong. I'm doing it all from memory. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
